Something started autoplaying here that felt like off-brand KoRn with "Jonathan Davis but wrong" kinda vocals it just made me want to listen to the real OG nu-metal stuff looked it up anyway due to curiosity AI slop "band" called SKARS FUCK SKARS FUCK "IRANIAN JAZZ" FUCK ALL AI-EXTRUDED MUSIC

The Séance of Blake Manor was one of my favorite games last year and you owe it to yourself if you like detective and deduction games to at least give it a look :)

Happy to explain myself upon request about some of these haha anyone want to join the fun? grids.fun/t/about-me-v...

This new Sentences system is intriguing. I'm curious how narrative conflict resolution works given how specific these Sentences are. Could be a good story mechanic to add alongside adventuresome dice-rolling? (H/t @wizleo.bsky.social for sending me this thread)

should i get a fursona, seems prudent in this day and age

been thinking about this a bit now and it is very funny that despite all the hype and dooming it never produced anything anyone wanted to watch. feel like that’s the fundamental thing about AI: it presumes & requires a captive, cowed audience that can’t turn anywhere else. and that’ll never be true

Danse Macabre: Medieval Horror Roleplaying by @timespace.place is now live on @itch.io! stillfleet.itch.io/danse-macabr... If you missed the campaign, you can still add the PDFs to your library.

this is depressing reading but it doesn't surprise me in the least. teaching first year university students, it's obvious many of them have already had their education undermined by LLMs before they even got to us

Extremely excited to get more Stillfleet AP, and happy that my friends at @stillfleet.bsky.social are having their work featured on something this big! Grit System games kick ass! The team behind them kicks ass and working with them is a joy! Don't hesitate to pick up the flagship Stillfleet game!

Welcome to Solari. Starring @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social as XL-ZL, Lou Wilson as Ze'Doven Iverex, and @erikaishii.bsky.social as Chee Tan'ka, with GM @aabria.bsky.social! Be sure to catch the Solari premiere TOMORROW, March 17th, on your favorite podcasting platforms!

Generative AI has led to entirely new paradigms and unprecedented accelerations in the fields of fucking yourself over in public in the most embarrassing and humiliating way possible

Subnautica devs v. Krafton ruling is ABSOLUTELY stunning. Start at the top of page 32 and read until the end of that section on page 37. Krafton CEO was warned by their legal personnel to not follow ChatGPT into what is likely Some Of The Dumbest Legal Shit Ever, CEO believed the plagiarism bot.

As a GM, player art based on campaign events makes me so fucking happy. So imagine my excitement about deciding to ANIMATE something that happened in the #daggerheart campaign I run and she plays in. SOON. But, for now, she has released a little teaser. www.instagram.com/reel/DV84iPC...

We are very close to sending backers ALL BOOKS as PDFs for Danse Macabre: Medieval Horror Roleplaying. This is the fastest we've ever fulfilled an entire game, and the most writing and art we've delivered, at a high level, in such a short period of time. DM is looking fantastic!

Not exactly aimed at this type of shit but there is a @typebarmagazine.bsky.social article that came to mind. We gotta get snobbier, guys. Skimming the simplified version of shit, especially if a robot did it it, is not the same as *actually reading it*. www.typebarmagazine.com/sci-fi-fanta...

randomly thinking about how, when I die, I want my bones to be turned into polyhedral dice

I'm actively working to find horror/Weird/queer/speculative fiction tabling events for Cursed Morsels this year. I've applied for a couple local ones (OddMart Sundays and Book Fair for Adults), but are there any events within a few hours of the Twin Cities folks would recommend?

making mango sticky rice and blasting post metal loud as hell is a good way to spend time on a saturday

My #arnoldstrongmanclassic 2026 prediction features some optimism on behalf of my favorites (Hatton and Licis), and it still doesn't knock Hooper off the top spot. This prediction has Martins in top shape and Hooper zeroing stones. Holy shit.

One of my first artsy pieces of games writing was about Bluepoint's Shadow of the Colossus remake, a game that felt in conversation with its origin. This is a senseless loss. caneandrinse.com/shadow-of-th...

BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned. A shocking end for a well-respected studio.

labor reforms in Argentina are fucking scary, neo-slavery shit feels like the country is becoming what Chile was back in Pinochet's time: testing lab for unhinged neoliberal evil

fucking humbled by my handstand attempts today been a while since coach put skill work in the program, but it was a fun challenge

Very cool that another game about repatriation heists exists! When I made Beutekunst it did cross my mind that a videogame with basically the same premise would be awesome, and now one has been made with an explicitly africanfuturist vision. I'll have to check it out at some point.

Hey y'all. A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews. Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? 🙂

"Fascist techbro fuckwads stole what we wrote, and then ticks and leeches like Coral Fucking Hart are happy to drink the blood those monsters have already stolen from us."

Ultimately right now in video games I feel surrounded by people who are worried, all the time, about long-term unemployment and ensuing social (or actual) death and so if you seem very invested in coming up with fun uses for LLMs in games I find you despicable.

i think in the name of fairness the producers of the baldur's gate tv show should demand that tv writers do at least a year of running around in circles doing unpaid writing tests before they're allowed to write for the show

starting to get real busy and likely staying real busy for a while I did, however, dream up most of a movie and started taking notes guess i'm fridging the current personal project that failed to spark joy and just cost me a lot of time for very little progress and going with the flow

painfully plausible

Furries have already achieved the dream of every shit silicon valley technology and in a more ethical and less cringe way The metaverse: VRChat NFTs: adoptable fursonas Typing words into a text box and having art appear: commissions

Communists seeing their claims about the global bourgeoisie once again proven right only for the public to go “omg Alex Jones and the conspiracy theorists were right!”

One more reason my soul shrivels up every time I hear someone say "I just used chatgpt to ____"

This essay ended up getting pretty popular (the most popular of Issue 8 so far). People really seem to like interesting philosophizing about mythical creatures often seen in fantasy narratives!

This essay was really cool. Fueled by a deep passion for cyberpunk as well as an even deeper curiosity for the genre’s philosophical and biological underpinnings. An interesting read!!

MY FIRST TYPEBAR ESSAY IS OUT www.typebarmagazine.com/the-weakness...

IT'S HAPPENING

dying to read @wizleo.bsky.social's essay

Méabh would fucking kill it as Margaret onscreen, I bet Now I want it to happen

Gods damn @buehlmeister.bsky.social does it again. I'm near done with my read of The Lesser Dead within less than 6 days. Every time I pick up a book by this guy I read compulsively every chance I get. I also need everyone to know that Margaret sounds like @meabhdebrun.bsky.social in my head

Heading into 2026, I'm still looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! You can find my portfolio here: www.hazelmonforton.com

Fine, whatever, this random cat is your new god of the winter solstice
